Base Ball.

The Lehighton club went to Slatington
last Saturday and defeated the Blue Stock
ings in an exciting game. In the seventh
inning the score stood II to 8 in favor of
the visitors, and in the eighth inning they
run their score up to Is and had two men
on bases with only one man out. Spoon
heimer went In TO bat and hit the ball
which struck In front of the plate, re-
bounded and struck his (Spoonheimer's y
person while standing in position.
Kennel picked up the ball and threw it to
first base and claimed that the batter was
out, but Captain Koons objected, claiming
it to be foul hit The umpire said " not
out" whereupon the Blue Stockings com
menced kicking and refused to finish the
game, thereby forfeiting it to Lehighton by
the score of 8 too
The umpire was right in his decision as
will be seen in the following rule, viz.
Rule 20, on page l54 in Reach's Guide
"A FOd Hit is a ball batted by the Bats
man, standing in his position. that first
touches the ground, the part of the person
of a player, or any other object thatlis be-
hind either OF the Foul Lines, or that
strikes the person Of such Bdtsmdn, tChile
standing ia his position"
The LehigitOnians did the best fielding,
base running and heaviest batting. The
features of the game were Whitehead's s
one-handed catch, Cullen's neat catch of a
hot liner and difficult running catches by
KOons, Jacobs and Spoonheimer. The

The treasury surplus must be reduced
This simply and clearly means that the
present high tariff rates must be cut down
to consistent order of things. We are
living in an age now, not burdened by civil
war, so the war rates must CO. The party
to reduce the taxes win he the party for the
people. Which party viii it be? The Dem
ocrats, who have been calling for tariff re-
form for the past decade or mole, or will it
be the Republicans who have always de

that must necessarily attract the attention
of our next Congress. 1t is rot a question

THE Democracy begins the campaign by
condemning everything and everybody con
nected with the Republican party. The
attack upon Hon. Anthony Raudenbush,
of this borough, is gross injustice, un-
warranted and uncalel for, malicious
one of Lehighton's foremost citizens. Mr..
Raudenbush was elected TO the legislature
by majority of more than twelve hundred
-he was elected by the wage earners, both
Republicans and Democrats, as a champion
of their legitimate interests, and we believe
that he acted to the best of his Judgment
in voting upon questions that concerned
the common people. He voted against the
high license law, he believed, as do hun
ereds and thousands, that it is unconstitu-
tional; he voted for the revenue bill, which
affects the interest of every Pennsylvania
taxpayer, and when it failed to receive the
signature of the Governor he was among
the first to offer his services at HARRISBURG

PROPER CARE OF TOOLS.
How Thousands Of Dollars Are Wasted
by Careless Farmers.

Farmers lose thousands Of dollars ev-
cry year by the careless neg lect OF their
tools. There j. one farm in sight OF
me, that has 81, 200 or $1,000 worth OF
machinery lying around the barn-yard,
and much of it is out Of repair, besides
being badly eaten by rust This LOT
embraces every thing from a reaper
down to a garden hoe. On this same
farm stand two large, empty barns,
besides various sheds. ] know from
experience that it is task to clean up
and oil SO many tools, yet find it pays
in the long run. My neighbors say ]
have enough Of farm implements on
my 20-acre garden place to stock loo
acres.
| NV tools consist of lIorse-hocs, hand
hoes, horse and hand-drills, steel plows
and harrows, besides many other i'm
plements used in gardening. and all
these l keep cleaned and free from
rust. l have my plows brought in every
night, and rubbed off dry and set in the
barn. out Of the dew Or dampness. Any
pillow or tool not in constant use in the
ground, keep oiled with common box
axle grease. In spring, as soon as ]
get through with a stirring pillow. ]
grease it and put it away in a dry
place for the fall blowing. Then, when
the fall work is over. the tools are
CREASED and put away for spring. So
| treat every tool as fast as | get
through with it. use coarse sand-pa-
per to clean off all rust, ii there is any.
before greasing. The ayle-grease dur
ing winter will dry and harden on the
tools, and it will be some trouble to
clean it off in spring. For this purpose
| use Il mixture Of turpcntinc and coal
oil; rub well with this, and let the
pillow stand over night, and few
burrows will scour it off clean,
and if there should be any rust spots.
they can soon be removed with coarse
sand-papcr. l would like 10 see every
farmer who will make u team pull a
rusty pillow. have to plow one day with
one Of his hand plows, all rusted; and
when it has been cleaned let him try it
awhile. | think this would break him
of using rusty plows. 1t did me. 1t i
the same with hoes; in fact, there is no
tool fit to work with when it is all eaten
Zip with rust. There is not only the
great saving in labor in keeping tools
clean. but a great saving in expense:
for n tool taken care of will last for
years; while if left to lie around all
over the farm where last used, repairs
will have to be made, or new ones
must be bought every spring. u S.
